We all know how much employee turnover can cost you. Make sure you have an effective onboarding plan in place to retain your top performers.
In today’s world, there are 3 different generations in our workplaces, and they all respond differently to communication. We discuss those differences in this topic. Many companies do not understand that the onboarding process is only one step of the entire recruiting processes. Therefore, they assume the recruiting process ends when the candidate accepts the offer and gives an agreed upon start date. Actually, that may be a poor assumption. What happens if the new employee does not feel welcome that first day? How does that first impression impact the company’s retention of that new employee?
This topic helps executives, hiring managers, and human resource managers develop a best practice onboarding process that is cost-effective; and improves retention. New employees will warmly discuss a welcoming culture while becoming more productive more quickly in their new positions. This great new welcoming culture leads to more employee referrals of top performers and saves money in recruitment.
